BLOOM’S POVWhen I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. How did I get here? I tried to look around. Moments ago, I was at Orion Pack delivering a message. That was all I remembered. I must have blacked out. But why?“Quite early, aren’t you?” I jumped at the interruption by a familiar voice and turned sideways to see Cecily with her signature sneer. Why the hell was she here? Fear caught in my throat as I tried to think of all the possible reasons she would be here.“Oh, you should thank your stars that I followed you, Bloom, or you would have died. Basically, I saved your life.” I kept silent, terror rising as I watched her pace back and forth with an amused expression. She chuckled a few times while sniffing the air, and then, the ball dropped. Sniff. “Is that a masculine scent I smell off you?” My heart jumped to my throat, and I started to quiver. Opening my mouth, I tried to speak, tried to say something to defend myself, but couldn’t. “Because I knew I heard sounds last night

BLOOM’S POVThe moon festival was fast approaching, and every person in the Pack had been tasked with doing something. It was two weeks after being tortured, and while I was allowed to move around the Pack, my hands and legs had been chained. That way, I wouldn’t be able to run away.Like a slave, I moved around bound, the clanging of my chains notifying everyone of my appearance and keeping them away from me. One of the significances of the chains was that I was a disgrace therefore, no mated or unmated male wolf was permitted to take more of a glance at me. It also meant I was ineligible for marriage because I tarnished mine and my father’s name.That wasn’t all. After the torture, my father had ordered the guards to drag me out, and in front of all the Pack members, disowned me as his daughter. For whoring myself to an unwanted male, I was no longer his daughter. Did it hurt when unmated males ignored me and walked past me like I was a plague? Yes, but that wasn’t the worst part. J

BLOOM’S POVAs the moon festival began, the Pack was illuminated by the moon. Celestial orbs cast their glowing beams upon the surroundings. Captivating sights shimmered and came alive under their ethereal touches. Lanterns floated gracefully, illuminating the darkness with their tender radiance. The stars sparkled and twinkled in harmony, and fireflies danced in the air, casting mesmerizing glows upon the atmosphere.I heard the howling of wolves, the music and the beating of drums, and the moving of feet to the beat. Tonight was my chance. I couldn’t stay here for another moment. I would finally say goodbye to the Pack that has shown me so much physical and emotional pain. Staying another moment longer would be the end of my life. Inside my room, I looked out the window, seeing that the entire Pack members had gathered. It was an unlawful thing for anyone to miss the moon ritual. I found myself on the edge of desperation. After all the years of torment and excruciation, my plan to

BLOOM’S POVThe sun peeked through the curtains, and my eyes fluttered open to find myself lying on a bed. It was comfortable and warm, which was unfamiliar to me. I smiled. For the first time in my life, I woke up comfortably. I didn’t wake up due to cold water splashed on my face or bullied out of my sleep to work for others. Everything was fine. Well, except that my hands and legs were tied.Looking further into the room, I was startled when I noticed a man standing by the window. His tall and commanding figure cast a shadow upon the floor. He wasn’t facing me, but his back possessed beauty and majesty, making it impossible for me to tear my eyes away.There was that connection again. I couldn’t explain it. The cosmic force that pulled two souls together in divine union. My mind screamed that he was the one I slept with that night. I didn’t think I would set my eyes on him again.I flinched a little when I felt aches in my body. I looked down at my body and saw my wounds had been t

BLOOM’S POVMy whole body shook as Rich walked out, and the tears I had held back fell. Of everything I had imagined would happen to my worthless life, I never thought I would have to deal with a baby. I felt light-headed. The fact that my intended mate hated me made things worse. I never felt so out of place. So unwanted. What did I do to deserve this kind of life? Was I paying for a grave sin I committed in my past life? He was right about one thing. I was the one in my right mind. Still, I didn’t bother to stop myself from urging him on. Maybe my father was right. I was nothing but a slut.“You know you’re not.” My wolf tried to comfort me, but her words didn’t do anything to stop my tears from falling. I heard the door opening and quickly wiped my cheeks. Then I jumped to my feet, gritting through the pain I felt all over my body.Rich had come back into the room. “Hey… Hey. You should rest. Your condition is still very fragile.” I didn’t answer him. How was I supposed to tell

GREY’S POVMy mate had been staying in the room next to mine for a few days, and I was more restless than I’d been in a long time. The fact that I could feel her emotions because of the mate bond drove me crazy. For the most part, she was jumpy, so I intentionally spent more time in the office to avoid her. It didn’t work. She took up my thoughts during my free time. I couldn’t help but be annoyed that she was messing up my plan. There were a lot of pressing issues at hand. I didn’t need some woman who appeared from who-knows-where taking up my time. My wolf had given me hell since our last encounter with her, more active than ever and messing with my head. He pestered me to check on her and look after her, but I ignored him. I hadn’t set my eyes on her for the past few days. There was a knock on my door, drawing me back from the thoughts of her. “Hey, what’s up?” Richmond asked as he walked into the office. I nodded and grunted a greeting in reply.Then he sat in the chair acro

BLOOM’S POVI couldn’t stop shaking as I realized what I had done. Looking at the broken pieces on the floor, I knew I would get punished. I just knew it. Back at my former Pack, I wouldn’t get away with something like this. It was either reported to my father, and I got whipped, or the witness picked up the broken piece and pierced it into my skin. Most of the time, it was Cecily. My mate was not standing so close to me, but I could feel the heat radiating off his body. I suddenly felt sweaty. The clothes I was wearing didn’t do anything to help matters. I had worn thick clothing because I didn’t want anyone to see the scars on my body. Most of the clothes I found in the wardrobe of the new room didn’t do anything to cover me. They either exposed my arms or weren’t long enough. I barely found some that were long enough.I bowed, knowing the first rule was not to make eye contact. I didn’t even have an explanation for what happened. I came to the kitchen to get food because I was s

GREY’S POVI didn’t like how she made me feel mad, frustrated even, and I hated that I wanted to get to know her, everything about her life, and what she went through. I loathed that I got worried when she hurt herself, despised that my wolf was mad at how I treated her, and that he wanted to be near her. At the same time, I hated myself for treating her badly.All these weren’t part of the plan. I didn’t want a mate, nor did I want a child. I didn’t think I could raise one without turning into my father. After growing up, all I could say about my father was that he was a bastard, but his blood flowed through my veins. I had walked the path of no redemption, so I was already like him, if not worse, but I couldn’t imagine having a child and treating them the way my father abused my brother and me. When I saw her the other day and went near her, the smell that radiated off her body was different. She had smelled more alluring. I knew for a fact that it was because of the baby. And th

GREYSomeone was crying. Whoever it was, I knew it was because of me, so I tried to open my eyes to see what the matter was, but when I felt a wave of pain go through me, I held my breath and waited for the pain to subside for what seemed like an eternity. Then I tried again. This time, I was successful. Bloom. She sat in a chair beside me, her head in my hands as she sobbed. “Bloom?” My voice didn’t sound like me. It sounded gravely and thin. Her head lifted as she gasped. I saw the moment her expression changed from worry to relief. “Grey? You’re awake?” I gave her a small nod and didn’t say anything. I held her hand, and I knew she understood me. “What about the Pack? And everyone?”“They’re all safe. You defeated our worst enemies,” Bloom said and I nodded just as the memories of the battle flooded back to me. The pain of Orion’s clawing through me came back. I didn’t even realize how Orion’s presence had been weighing heavily on me, but now that he was gone, I was finally able

GREYCapturing the children and women while I was still here? What sort of a sick plan was that? It seemed like I’d been too easy on Orion for him to think he could get away with that. Well, he had another thing coming. “Are the weapons ready?” “Yes, Alpha!” My army of wolves chorused. I got up from where I was and led them toward Orion Pack. They planned to evade ours anyway, why shouldn’t we do the same to them? When we arrived, not only were Orion’s wolves waiting, but also the rogues. “You could have chosen to do this in a better way, you know that Alpha Orion? You just had to get on my nerves.” I looked at the wolves and they didn’t waste any time in lighting the Pack up. We were going to be exactly like the rogues this evening and no-fucking-body was going to stop us. “Do you think I’m going to give in?” Alpha Orion roared from his balcony, his eyes glowing red with rage. “We will fight back!” His wolves were taken aback by his sudden change in attitude, even the Pack members

BLOOMGrey and I followed after Ray to find out what he was talking about, and were met with a shocking scene. He led us into a room, and as he closed the door behind us. Other than a lamp on the table, it was completely dark. But that wasn’t the surprising part. That would be Angie tied to a chair. Turning sideways slightly to look at Grey, I thought, What plan did they have up their sleeves this time?“I just found out the truth,” Ray said. “The child in her womb isn’t yours, Alpha Grey, she has only been trying to get you to marry her.” It was a blatant lie but Ray had no idea we knew the truth. Where was he headed with this? I looked at him briefly before fixing my gaze back on Angie. What did they have up their sleeves now?“She lied about you getting her pregnant so her child can take ownership of your seat before anyone else’s,” Ray added, and while I already knew this, it didn’t stop me feeling angry. Leaning forward, I grabbed her jaw, looking her in the eyes. It was then I

GREY“You know who this letter is from, Grey. I gave you an option of leaving your Pack peacefully, I guess you have turned down my kindness. Now I have no choice but to show you what I can do. Need I remind you that before now I’ve known and watched you for years? It goes without saying that I know your moves, every single one of them. I’ll invade your Pack relentlessly. Take this letter as a warning of what is to come. You’ve been a thorn in my side right from the time I used to be under your command. I made plans I was sure would completely destroy you and your Pack. How you survived remains a miracle… No, I’m certain your pretty little mate helped you with that. I should have stabbed you harder that day in the forest. Anyways, as you might already know, Leo, Stephan, and I plotted your downfall with the help of the Alpha of Orion. He supported us, giving us the power we needed to destroy your Pack. Now, I won’t back down until you’re six feet below the earth, Grey, and this time

BLOOMAs I shared what I heard with Grey, he stared straight at the wall with an expression of fury. Who could blame him for that reaction when he just found out the woman who claimed to be carrying his child, a child he had been fully prepared to accept, was lying to him? And not just that, but the actual father happened to be his Beta, Ray. “I knew there was something off about him.”I sat next to him, placing my hand on top of his. “Please before handling this case, you need to first be calm.”He turned to me with an angry look, but I knew it wasn’t directed at me. “He’s trying to have you by all means. You don’t expect me to sit and watch.”“We have more pressing matters at hand, Grey. They might have plotted against you, but they’re not dumb to believe they don’t need you. Think about it. The issue of the rogues is still on the ground so they can’t act without thinking. They’ll have to wait for the right time,” I explained. “Let’s also be strategic. I understand how you feel. I a

BLOOMUpon getting back to the Pack with Grey, I had reached the top of the stairs when I heard a feminine exclamation and turned around to see Angie clinging to Grey like a damsel in distress. Grey’s face was pulled back as he looked at her with disdain. Physical touches in general made him uncomfortable, so to be touched by someone he didn’t like must feel highly unpleasant.“I’ve not been feeling good these days, and still, you don’t pay me any attention. Do you still not believe the child I’m carrying is yours?”My hands squeezed into fists by my side and I gritted my teeth as I watched Angie caress Grey’s arms while batting her eyelashes. I was about to walk down the stairs and pull her away from him when someone caught my arm. Looking back, I saw Rich shaking his head at me. He seemed to know that if I got close enough to her, I might kill her. I couldn’t stand watching her do that to him. Just as I wanted to pull out of Rich’s hold, a growl echoed in the air and everything wen

BLOOMThe next morning, Grey and I set out for Montrose Pack after receiving news of a rogue attack. Upon our arrival, I was shocked at the sight we met. The rogues' attack had completely brought down the place. They left nothing standing. They had left so many survivors. Tears filled my eyes as I looked around. While this place had never been a home to me, it was still where I grew up and spent most of my life in, so it left me feeling broken.As I got to the place where the Alpha’s mansion once stood, my vision became blurry with tears. Most of the building had been reduced to debris. Remembering that my father used to keep a diary, I shifted into my wolf and sniffed the ground, searching for the book in the ruins. I moved through the rubble in my wolf form, my heightened senses picking up on scents, most of them being my father’s. As my paws trod upon the scorched ground, I spotted a fragment of charred wood that was etched with familiar markings and knew it was a scorched corner

BLOOMMy mind was on Angie. There was no telling what she was up to, and as much as I wanted to keep an eye on her every moment, I didn’t have any time for that. My gaze returned back to my sleeping child. My precious daughter, my Angel who I wanted to protect. I reached out to touch her toes when the door opened and Grey walked in. The weariness on his face and his tousled hair all pointed to the fact that he’d been up all night, but somehow even with all that, he still managed to look so attractive. After kissing me on the lips, he put out a finger to touch our daughter’s face, before sitting next to me on the bed and resting his head on my lap. “Did you find anything out last night?” I asked as I ran my fingers slowly through his hair. “Hmm.” Grey nodded. “Ray got more information about the rogue camp, and it was just as I thought. It’s clear now that Lewis is the leader of the rogues. We can’t just sit back and watch without doing anything. We need to strategize a way to capture

Bloom's PovGrey looked like he was a second away from ripping her head off. I was very sure that was the exact look I had on my face as well. I had people behind me anyways, that stopped me from making any further movements towards her. Like what the fuck?! I glared at her and could just imagine throwing her to the wall without caring whether or not she had a child. But I had to control my urges before I did something I'd regret. My wolf growled in my head. I pushed her back so she wouldn't take control of my body. This fool was trying to get my man to look at her. And here I was doing nothing about it. I growled while the guards were ready to hold me when the need be. They knew I'd kill her without effort. She stayed there staring innocently like a damsel in distress. What the fuck was she even thinking. That she can take my place? As what exactly? The Luna?"Get the fuck out of this place Angie," Grey growled. Even his wolf threatened to show up if Grey did nothing about this. But
